findings-capture

findings-capture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from a5c-ai/babysitter. It costs 0 tokens per session (283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for saving research findings, discoveries, and decision reasoning in a findings.md file. It organizes entries with timestamps and checks whether the investigation covered the needed areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize findings, record discoveries during work, organize duplicate entries, and check research coverage.
Why use it?
It prevents useful context from being lost during a long task. It also makes decisions and supporting evidence easier to review.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

findings-capture scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Findings Capture

Capture and persist research findings, discoveries, and decision rationale to findings.md.

Agent

Findings Curator - pwf-findings-curator

Workflow

  1. Initialize findings.md with structured section headers
  2. Capture findings during execution with timestamps
  3. Apply 2-Action Rule: persist after every 2 operations
  4. Record decisions with supporting rationale
  5. Deduplicate and organize on final flush
  6. Analyze coverage for verification

Inputs

  • projectPath - Root path for planning files
  • phaseName - Current phase name
  • findings - Array of finding objects
  • decisions - Array of decision objects

Outputs

  • Updated findings.md with organized, timestamped entries
  • Coverage analysis for verification

Process Files

  • planning-orchestrator.js - Findings initialization and appending
  • planning-execution.js - 2-Action Rule batches and final flush
  • planning-verification.js - Coverage analysis
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
